This park has a mix of cabins, house trailers and RV's. I would assume that many of the RV's are seasonal but this park is open all year. We had a full hookup back in site with 30 amp electric and cable. There is no WiFi service. The site surface was dirt and there were some trees that provided partial shade. There are bathrooms, showers and laundry provided. The bathrooms are somewhat rustic but reasonably clean. We paid $36 per night. - Coopsecondact

We stayed here for two evenings. It is fairly close to Bodie Ghost Town. They have mainly Park model homes in their spaces and I'm sure in the summer you would need reservations. It's close to Convict Lake and Hot Creek (catch and release only). Mountains are beautiful around this area. Not a great place to walk pets. - Arizona Traveler

This facility is operated under a license from Los Angeles DWP since Crowley Lake is a water reservoir. They offer camping as well as boat rental and fishing supplies. The RV spaces are large, mostly pull-thru with full hookups and 30amp electric. The site surface was gravel and dirt with considerable space between sites. Most sites have nice views of the lake and mountains. There is WiFi service available at the tackle shop but otherwise I couldn't find service from the RV site. They have bathrooms but they are super nasty. I'm not sure they are ever cleaned. We paid $45 per night. - Coopsecondact

Nice view overlooking Crowley Lake. Water pressure not very good. Lake is supposed to be good for fishing. No shade for the sites overlooking the lake. We would camp there again. - The traveler

We made our reservation in the morning of the evening we spent there. I called for a reservation and she was very helpful and assigned us site 13 which was more private than other sites. The site was spacious and shaded. The park has a creek running through it with fish for the fishermen. I inspected the showers and they were gorgeous, but I did not use them. There is a fire pit at each site. We bought their firewood and had a campfire in the evening. We plan to return to this campground many times over. - Marlu A 123

This was quite a find! We asked for a pull through site, but none was available. They gave us a site right on McGee Creek! Wonderful view and the management assisted us backing in. Nice park, nice stay, and going back on the 24th of August! I highly recommend this park. - George McCullough

This is a large RV park conveniently located near the intersection of Main St. and Old Mammoth Road. This is one of the only commercial parks in Mammoth so they can command somewhat premium pricing particularly in the summer. There are lots of public campgrounds but they generally don't accept reservations and don't have hook ups. The mature pine trees offer the opportunity for shade at least for part of the day. The section we were in was asphalt organized like a large parking lot with RV's lined up side by side. We had water, cable, 30amp electric and fairly good WiFi. The bathrooms are reasonably clean and well maintained. Including tax we paid $51.30 per night. - Coopsecondact

As others have said this park is 2 different parks. We had the misfortune of being in the parking lots sites. Cars were parked everywhere making getting in and out very difficult. The sites are extremely tight and do not leave much privacy. There is room behind the camper site and have fire pits but is very open. Only 30 amp service in this area and no sewers. Very close to town and the National Park visitors center. Probably would not stay again. Also, make sure you do not arrive before check in time because they will not start allowing people to check in before that time, no exceptions. - John Borajkiewicz

We usually stay in the National Forest for our visit to the area. Our favorite campground (and many others) were not open yet due to the amount of snow the area received during the winter. Let's start with check-in. We arrived about 1:20 PM, after a 7.5 hour drive. Went into office and there were 3 women chatting behind the counter. After waiting for acknowledgement, I had to actually say excuse me to ask about check-in. We were promptly told check-in isn't until 2 pm and they went back to their conversation. Keep in mind half the park was empty! Because of our dates, we had to have 2 separate reservations (check-out of site 1 and recheck into site 2 on day 6). We went to the office to make the arrangements to recheck-in, knowing we were probably going to have to move our RV, and were told check-in isn't until 2. What are we to do? Their suggestion "go sight-seeing". Cable never worked. We reported it to office on day 2. By day 6, still no cable service. (We really like watching the news for the area whenever we can.) There are 2 different types of sites, Standard and Premium. Standard are in a parking lot situation with water, electricity, and cable. Premium sites are in the wooded, dirt section and also include sewer. The standard sites are well defined with parking lines. Premium sites are not well defined. We stayed in a Premium site. Our Premium site was relatively level but the dirt roads through the wooded area had potholes. The restroom in the Premium area was well maintained. The only disadvantage to these were the showers. They had a push button that allowed water to flow for about 30 seconds. You have no control over the temperature of the water. WiFi worked the one time we connected. This campground is on the edge of town. Hospital is about 2 blocks away so you hear the sirens. Grocery is about 1 mile away. Skiing about 5 miles away. - Ms Winnie

The two Shady Rest campgrounds are across the street from each other and both share a great location on the edge of town, near bike paths, etc. Old Shady Rest is smaller, quieter and has much more space between sites. The camp host told us that New Shady Rest has more party campers and occasional homeless wandering through. We loved camping here both for the wonderful features of the Mammoth area and for this marvelous campground. I marked it down to a 9 only because of the poor layout of many sites (angled the wrong way so we had to go the wrong way on the one way road), the somewhat narrow road, and a tiny bit of road noise. If you don't mind dry camping, this is a great choice in Mammoth Lakes. It was generally not full when we were here. - MrSunshine

A very nice and wooded park. Depending on your slide out configuration, you may have a tough time but is usually manageable. Very close to the town of Mammoth with bike paths leading to a park. Camp host on site were very helpful. I would stay here again. - pb24

For dry camping in Mammoth Shady Rest is pretty nice. Good space between sites. We were there in early June and the place was virtually empty. It's a tight squeeze to back into most sites (we're 40 feet with trailer and Expedition) and you really have to watch out for the rocks and trees. There is a little road noise from main street, even in the back, but not too bad and you can walk to town easily. Easy access to all that Mammoth has to offer. We're hikers and we can do a 3 or 4 mile RT to different lakes every day. Awesome! - Honest John

New & Old Shady Rest are 2 separate CGs right across the road from each other and just behind the Mammoth Lakes Visitor Center on the main road into town. The are both FS CGs & the nice thing about them is you can walk into town & restaurants from both. They are older CGs and, as the other posts mentioned, navigating through them & parking for anything over 30 ft can be problematic. We usually pull into the Visitor Center & leave the RV in the lot & first drive the loops with our toad to find a suitable spot. These are both heavily used CGs, so I would recommend arriving well before the weekend if you are in a larger RV as your spot suitability may be limited. Be aware that as of June 2016, some of the other FS CGs are closed due to flood damage and the VC told us New Shady Rest will be FCFS all season. I think handling the campers from the other closed CGs will add to the demand on these CGs. Otherwise, the sites are mostly heavily treed and leveling can be a challenge. Hosts on on-site and very helpful & friendly. - gtogrl

Had Reservations over the Independence Day Holiday. Reserved 8 spaces for both travel trailers and motorhomes. Beautiful campground, all sites are shaded and in the forest. Problem is getting your Rv in the spaces. We reserved all 34+ foot spaces but were unable to back in to any of the spaces because of limited room. When the photo shows the space, be cautious. You do not have room to back in with larger Rv's. I would recommend this Campground for any RV less that 25 ft. - REG4608

This park is right off the main road into Mammoth Lakes which was perfect for a base camp for the area. We visited Devils Tower NP and Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest and smaller area sites. Although just off the main road, we were in the back of the park and it was quiet. The park was clean and seemed well run although we had no reason to interact with the hosts. The bathrooms were fine. There are no showers or hookups. I heard as I was leaving that showers were available across the street at Mammoth Mountain RV park. There is a dump station that the park has outsourced and it costs $10 and has water fill up as well as dump. We had enough room between sites but not a lot. We had a little trouble backing into the site because of the dumpster located across the street at the toilets, so I would camp one site to either side of our site. Our site was asphalt but this option is not available under Site Surface. - bdornbush

Expensive for what you get, although restrooms were immaculate. Very friendly camp host! Not appropriate for large rigs however. We loved the shady sites but will not be back for the size reason. - havervwilltravl

This campground is part of the Inyo National Forest and is reservable through Recreation.gov. There are no showers, but there are clean flush toilets and sinks with cold running water. There was also soft soap provided. The hosts are super friendly and very helpful. Very nice creek (Coldwater Creek) runs down both sides of campground where you can fish for rainbow and brook trout. - User1132

This campground is just weird. There seemed to be lots of driving around by visitors and campers, and it was extremely dusty. We had site #26, and it was very difficult to level. The route through the campground is hard to determine and is very narrow with a dirt and rocky surface and it would be difficult for large RVs to squeeze between some of the trees. It seemed that very few of the campers kept their dogs on leash as required, and ours were attacked by one that ran out of a campsite and jumped them. Be aware if you bring your dogs. I would not return to this campground. The rate reflects the Senior Pass discount. - jbarry130

Rate reflect Senior Pass. This is a great campground along the San Joaquin River. It's very pet friendly, and you can take your dogs on the trails. It's dusty, but there isn't much traffic. We had site B-7 for 3 nights, and would have stayed longer if we could have. The rangers are very friendly and helpful. I intend to come back here as soon as possible. The hike to Rainbow Falls, about 5.5 miles round trip is well worth it. Beautiful falls. - jbarry130
